Side: Survivor, Killer, or Mixed (killer & survivor challenges in one pool, drawn at random, no pattern, you could get five killers in a row).

Difficulty is your starting point on one rising curve. Every mode gets harder the longer you last, each checkpoint nudges the odds toward nastier challenges. The mode just decides where you begin the climb:

EasyGentle, and mostly stays that way, a slow trickle of tougher stuff. Never a free ride.

HardStraight into the tough stuff; extremes creep in as you climb.

ExtremeA little variety at the start, then brutal, within a few checkpoints it's almost all the hardest challenges.

RunningThe full journey. Calm all the way up to chaos.

EndlessNever ends, you just try to last. Slowly poisons toward all-extreme over a massive run, recycling so you never run dry.

Each trial gives you a random challenge, a rule you honour, like "escape a chase without vaulting." Every challenge has its own win condition baked in, so you only ever do what it says.

A Escape/4K required tag means you must actually win the trial for it to count. No tag = it passes the moment you pull it off, win or lose. "4K" always means a true 4K, the last survivor slipping out the hatch is a fail.

• Passed, you did it → advance to the next challenge.
• Failed, you didn't → lose a life and roll back to your last checkpoint (see below).
• Match Voided, the match didn't count (see below) → free reroll, no cost.
• Reroll, skip a challenge you can't or don't fancy. Limited per run, spend them wisely, because a fail costs you your progress.

• Every 5 cleared = a checkpoint (Endless spaces them out further). It banks your progress and grants +1 life and +2 rerolls (rerolls cap 6; life cap 3 on Easy/Hard/Extreme, 5 on Running & Endless).
• Fail = lose a life AND roll back to your last checkpoint. Everything you cleared since goes back in the pool, you have to re-earn it. That's the whole game: failing has to hurt.
• You start with 0 lives and 2 rerolls, until your first checkpoint, a single fail ends the run, so those 2 rerolls are your only safety net.
• Your score is your peak, the highest you ever reached, even if you roll back from it.

A void means the match genuinely didn't count, free reroll, no life lost. Commit any call while the match is still winnable; only being already-dead is judged after. On your honour:

• Match cancelled on loading (someone DCs before it starts), auto void, either side.
• Survivor: a teammate DCs at 5 gens, decide the instant it happens, void or it counts.
• Killer: a survivor DCs, nothing happens, play on.
• Survivor: you die before any gen is done, void.
• Survivor: an AFK / dead-weight teammate, your call.
• Hard tunnelling, soft void, call it while it's happening.

On Easy, Hard, Extreme & Running, clear the entire pool and you earn the DEAD BY DAYLIGHT LEGEND screen. Almost nobody ever sees it. (Endless never ends, it just recycles until your lives run out.)
